For cheap, widely available non fancy option; the Kalin Saltwater swim jig heads and bullet heads work just fine.
available from 1/4oz up to 1.5oz

^^^^^^^ These are very good too and a quite a bit less than the Owners. I prefer the Owner hook but nothing wrong with the Kalin's. The bullet heads work better than the more triangular swimbait heads with the basstrix http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Kalins_Ultimate_Saltwater_Bullet_Jig_3pk/descpage-KUUS.html

I have the answer, but you will have to hire Cody Malone for the day to find out.

Derrick, I'm a big fan of the Basstrix. No need to get fancy with jig heads. The fish can't tell a fancy, like-like painted one from a plain lead head. They're keying on your bait and its action, not the jighead. Save your money and buy Owner Bullets. Perhaps a little super glue. They're all you need. Like these... http://www.fishermanswarehouse.com/shop/owner-saltwater-bullet-ultra-head/ I have several $$$ worth of swimbait heads. Pretty ones with all kinds of bait keepers, eyes, lifelike features, etc. They're a waste of money, imo. p.s.-you need to try the 7" for bass on Fork  Thanks, Fouz! I'm a big fan of Owner products. I'll get some of these. And, I'll grab some 7" too.

Check out War Baits! Very high quality lead heads with built in weed guards. They're designed for fishing soft plastic swimsuits on the west coast for Calico bass.
